The Associated Press reported that the injured South Carolina running back will enter the NFL draft.

Lattimore is expected to announce his decision later this week.

The running back suffered a horrific injury to his right knee against Tennessee on Oct. 27. Doctors said Lattimore had successful surgery to repair several ligaments on Nov. 2.

Russia's anti-doping agency said the discus thrower was provisionally suspended by the IAAF after a positive doping test that could cost her the silver medal from the London Olympics. RUSADA said the world governing body suspended Pishchalnikova dating to Oct. 31 until a final ruling in the case.

Pishchalnikova tested positive for the banned substance Oxandrolone in a reanalysis of a sample taken in an out-of-competition control last May. The original test was negative, but her sample was checked again months later based on a more advanced method.
